Sorry for the wait again, special thanks to FandomFriendlyBitch for putting up with me and helping me plan this fic out :)

I know things might be all over the place at times but I really try my best thanks to the readers that have stuck with me as well<333

Lumine and Aether share a look after their mom said that, both of them shrugging thinking it's probably nothing.

The rest of the car ride is quiet and the events of that day slowly start to dawn on Aether. He was never really picked on growing up and he was grateful for that, but today was something different. People actually went out of their way just to pick on him over a silly crush they had—and all over someone who didn't even know them.

How people like that can exist amazes him.

Though he admits they had some sort of affect on him, he can't let it completely get to him. It will only make those dumb girls feel some sort of accomplishment for pushing him to that point, and he was not going to let them have that.

"Hey, are you okay?" He feels Lumine nudge him, "You look a bit ill. Did something happen at school?"

Aether thinks about telling her and he really should after what he promised her. But he really doesn't want to drag her into this mess, so he decides against it. He can't make his problems hers too. Besides, they're just annoying girls who'll eventually give up when they see he isn't stopping being around Venti.

"Yeah I'm fine." Aether smiles.

"If it's about me calling you a nosy rat, I'm not sorry."

Aether drops his things by the living room couch, sitting down after to listen to what his mom had to say to them. He's been distant lately with both her and his dad, and it's for very obvious reasons. But they're still his parents, and deep down he loves them very much.

Lumine sits down next to him, bringing her hand up to her face to chew on her nails. It's a habit she has when she's nervous. That's how Aether knows that she has no idea what their mom is gonna say.

"Okay. Um, your dad was supposed to be here as well but he said it was too embarrassing for him to talk about." The older woman paces in front of them before sighing and sitting down on the arm rest next to Aether.

"I first want to apologize to you Aether, I feel like we haven't been fair to you. I've had so many regrets since the day we grounded you, and every time I think about it I realize how stupid your dad and I reacted. We weren't good enough parents in that moment and I've come to realize it."

She leans down to pull Aether into her embrace, "It's not your fault and it's never gonna be your fault. I'm so sorry I hurt you and reacted in a way that affected you bad. I'm also sorry that it took me so long to talk to you about this."

The blonde omega feels tears quickly rushing down his cheeks, his own arms wrapping around his mom.

He brushes away the tears, "Does that mean I'm not grounded anymore and I can go out again?"

His mom pulls away and cleans her own tears, "Ah, of course sweetie but before that, there's something else I want to talk to you and Lumine about."
